Louisa May Alcott Elementary serves 630 students across kindergarten through fifth grade in Redmond, Washington. The school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10, an Exceptional rating supported by strong statewide data. Alcott outperforms 98% of public schools in Washington, ranking 57th among 2,225 schools statewide and 4th among 21 schools in Redmond.
